Song title: Don't Ever
Artist: Missy Higgins
Year: 2004
Why I like this song:
So Missy Higgins will be this year's inductee to the ARIA Hall of Fame? Well good for her.
Like a lot of other people, I did buy her debut album, The Sound of White, and I did enjoy it to a point here I can associate this song with twenty-two year old me.
Thing is, that I am only finding this out now shows I don't think much of the ARIAs. Sure the Hall of Fame has an induction criteria but I'm not convinced it works. What I am convinced is the following scenario:
ARIA: So who shall we induct into the Hall of Fame this year?
Go-Betweens: We are one of the most respected bands here and overseas!
Ratcat: We are trailblazers for alternative music and had the most successful Australian single in 1991!
silverchair: We are one of the most popular Australian bands and we have 21 ARIAs to our name!
You am I: We are one of the most successful Australian bands and have inspired many other bands!
Powderfinger: We are have a long and successful career and won Album of the Year three times!
Daryl Braithwaite: I covered a woman's song
ARIA: Come on in Daz! Glad to have you!!
